[AccessD] Access 2003 database in Access 2007

Try adding a default menu bar (eg  File - Exit).  Maybe that's the key.   It would have your menu bar instead of the ribbon.

I have custom menu bars and toolbars, and they both show with no ribbon.

  I tried your code with the following settings and still see the ribbon and no custom toolbars. I have no custom menus. Am I missing some settings?

  Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
      SetProperty "StartupShowDBWindow", dbBoolean, False
      SetProperty "AllowShortcutMenus", dbBoolean, True
      SetProperty "AllowFullMenus", dbBoolean, False
      SetProperty "AllowBuiltinToolbars", dbBoolean, False
      SetProperty "AllowToolbarChanges", dbBoolean, False
      SetProperty "AllowSpecialKeys", dbBoolean, True
      SetProperty "StartupShowStatusBar", dbBoolean, True
      SetProperty "UseAppIconForFrmRpt", dbBoolean, True
      SetProperty "AppTitle", dbText, "SACROC Surveillance"
      'SetProperty "StartUpMenuBar", dbText, ""
      SetProperty "AppIcon", dbText, "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\OilBarrel24.ico"
  End Sub

  I use a more generic Function where you pass the property type as well:

  SetProperty "AllowBypassKey", dbBoolean, False

  Public Function SetProperty(strPropName As String, _
                                varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Long
      On Error GoTo Err_SetProperty
      Dim db As DAO.Database, prp As DAO.Property
      Set db = CurrentDb
      db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
      SetProperty = True
      Set db = Nothing
  Exit_SetProperty:
      Exit Function
  Err_SetProperty:
      If Err = 3270 Then        'Property not found
          Set prp = db.CreateProperty(strPropName, varPropType, varPropValue)
          db.Properties.Append prp
          Resume Next
      Else
          SetProperty = False
          MsgBox "SetProperties", Err.Number, Err.Description
          Resume Exit_SetProperty
      End If
  End Function
